33 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lake Station

“Ok...my Aunt Barb insisted we come here after she'd had been here more than several times. Raving about how good everything was! No disappointments! Oh my! 5 of us, tasting everything...sharing IS caring. Happy tastbuds all around. Service terrific. Just opening the door you are greeted wirh the splendid aroma. We live out of town an hour and a half but...shall be back. Thank you so much!!“

“First time here. Ordered 1/2 lb. perch, clam strips and shrimp. Very fresh and good tasting. Perch breading has a welcome slight 'kick' to it, but does not overwhelm the perch flavor. Probably the best perch around, and at a reasonable price. The shrimp and clam strips were also very good. Will be back. Five Stars.“

“I love the clam strips and while the sides are basic they are good. My husband loves their hush puppies too“

“A friend recommended Las Jacarandas for great Mexican food in the area. We ordered a ton of items to take out. Was not disappointed whatsoever! Tried an assortment of items (chile relleno dinner, variety of tacos such as beef, fish, steak, pork, chorizo, chicken mole) and everything was excellent! The sides (rice, refried beans) and the sauces were all excellent and better than any other Mexican restaurant. Cannot wait to eat in next time!..This place rocks!!“

“We were a group of 9; 6 adults & 3 children looking for a more sit-down place to eat when the owner talked us into staying telling us we would not be disappointed, and we were not. Their menu had a huge variety of food to choose from, and all of us thought the food was great! I had French toast, hash browns & sausage. My husband had an awesome shrimp omlette that had more shrimp on it than anywhere else we have ever eaten that put shrimp in its breakfast. And even thought it was all packagesd as take out, there were three tables available to sit and eat. It worked for us! Great job S&G! It's a well-earned 5 star review!“

“Just finished an early dinner as my first experience with Cajun Crab House. It was outstanding! I had 6 raw oysters along with the Deep Fried Catfish and my son had a Crab Cake appetizer and Shrimp linguine. Some of the best seafood I’ve had in a while. Even better than the food was the service. I have problems with spicy food due to chemo and Ciara, our server, went out of her way to check the spice level of the food I had ordered. Several trips to and from the kitchen and I picked the Catfish…..perfect choice. I have no problem with anything. Was one of the better experiences I’ve had“

“Sharon our hostess was outstanding, meal was great! Holly you owe Sharon a steak! We had a great time!!!!;“

“We ordered a pound of fried large shrimp, a pound of Lake Perch, fries, mushrooms & coleslaw. The large fried shrimp were big thick pieces battered & fried perfectly crispy & they removed the tails so you have no waste. The fried lake perch was battered & fried crispy big fillets. The business itself is just a small take out shack but thank you to the cooks who are making delicious food inside. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“I ordered the lobster tail, crab legs and shrimp combo (steamed not fried) and it was fantastic. It came with two corn and one potato. I believe it was seasoned with old bay and the garlic butter was great. The hush puppies are perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside.“

“I like this place i really do my only problem is how stingy they be with the mild sauce sometimes 😂😂😫everybody dont like dry chicken😂😂 i got ten big pieces of chicken 4 lil cups of mild sauce should only be for wings i like to dip my fries and everything 💯😫 now the food always fresh i go here often but i always have to go to dollar general and get more sauce i just finish eating i still got more fries and 4 pieces of thighs! Left 😂😂😂 peanut butter no jelly man and one peice of bread for ten pieces is diabolical“

“Decided to stop by this place while passing through on interstate 94/80. I ordered on DoorDash for pickup so it will be ready as soon as I arrive. I ordered the three combo meal of shrimp, catfish nuggets and shrimp with came with fries and some hot sauce and mild sauce. The food was fresh and prepared pretty well and seasoned with that lemon pepper seasoning. The employees here are very nice and helpful towards customers and it was pretty busy when I arrived. Overall my experience was nice and I would not mind coming back again soon if I’m in the area.“

“I’m not a fan of Sharks, but nothing was open at 10:30pm and we wanted to try the shrimps.
I was positively surprised, the food was amazing good and the service was very nice and accommodating. I really don’t know why this place is so underrated.“
